Absolute URL

Am I understanding this correctly? I'm trying to establish an absolute URL

urls.swift 
import Foundation

let treehouseCourseID = 25

let treehouseBaseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.teamtreehouse.com/")

let courseURL = NSURL(string: "\(treehouseCourseID)", relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL)

This was a bit tricky ... on the first challenge the treehouseBaseURL = https://api.teamtreehouse.com/ However on the second challenge the path to treehouse courses is shown to include the string; "course/" which must be added to the let courseURL constant. So what we need is; courseURL = treehouseBaseURL + "course/" + treehouseCourseID The code you have instead is; courseURL = treehouseBaseURL + TreehouseCourseID Try the following code: let courseURL = NSURL(string: "course/ (treehouseCourseID)", relativeToURL: treehouseBaseURL) Hope this helps
